Poll a folder dynamically file adapter

Hi
I have 2 requirements:
1. I want to poll a folder using file adapter for all the files in it. How to achieve this ? Can I use *.*. but the dev guide explicitly disapproves of it so what else to do.
2. On a more advance note. I want to change the folder to be read from dynamically. This way I want to poll different folders using a single file adapter.
Thanks

1 you should be able to use *.* to just process all the files in the folder
i'm not sure how to make the directory dynamic, since this is the start of your process, so there isn't some other trigger moment what can set the directory to either a or b
i think you should be able to set it on runtime from the console with some like this :
http://eelzinga.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/oracle-soa-suite-11g-setting-and-getting-preferences/
only that's for preference so i can imagine there will also be some setting the the jca directory property.
or you could create a directory myfile, and in this put both folder a and folder b

then with the file adapter you can use the recursive property to process all the files in the subfolder

  • Poll interval for sender file adapter.

    I have a 1_sender file NFS file adapter which picks a trigger file from X location in PI application server, this trigger file initiates the unix script present in the sender file adapter.
    Unix script brings all the file which starts with 25588* from bank FTP and places in Y location in PI application server then script deletes the "trigger file".
    another NFS File adapter  1_receiver file adapter places the trigger file in the X location of PI.
    for 1_sender file poll interval given as 86400, that means it should trigger only once a day @ 1:30pm.
    But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.

    Vidya,
    There are two things :-
    1. The polling interval should be 24 hrs;
    2. The polling interval should be 24 hrs and it should poll at 1:30 pm every day.
    For any reason if the channel is re-started, then with your present configuration, you will never be able to achieve # 2.
    So, better use ATP.
    But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.
    Might be the connection dropped / failed at the time of polling and the channel re-tried. If you give more details (what time and with how much interval it triggered), someone might be able to help.

  • Dynamic File Adapter status -  Active or Inactive

    Hi Experts
    Is there any way  to set the Sender/ Receiver File adapter status dynamically to inactive or active.
    Is there any setting exists in the file adapters ? Please provide me possible solutions.
    Thanks
    Faheem

    Hi all,
    Many thnz for the response.
    There is one more way of doing this as well. Just now i found that.
    In the runtime workbench - Communication channel monitoring , Select the automatic control for the comminucation channel to make active or inactive .
    there are options for our comm channel to run specfic date and time.

  • Selective Polling in the Sender File Adapter

    Hi,
    I have the following requirement
    1) File X is placed in the directory which is the source file for the sender adapter to poll
    2) File X is appended regulary with data until it is polled. During this appending the sender adapter should not poll this file
    3) Current process (without PI) they use a control file to stop this happening. i.e. they place a File Y in the directory to show the file is being updated and not to be touched. Once The file is appended File Y is removed and the file should be polled
    So ultimately I have to configure the sender adapter to poll for File X (say every minute) except when there is File Y in the directory.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    You can use the "Msec to wait before modification check" feature in sender file adapter to achieve the requirement.
    No need to place the "File Y"...i.e step 3 to perform.

  • Archiving Processedor Errored Files on FTP folder-Receiver File Adapter

    Hello,
    A quick question, we have a scenario where we are picking a file from FTP folder and we need to archive it on the
    1) Processed file on the same FTP server different folder
    2) errored file on different FTP folder.
    How could we achieve this using the FILE Adapter?
    As what i could see the file adapter does not gives you the option to select the FTP site for this...
    Help is appreciated.

  • Dynamic  File adapter configuration

    Hi All,
    Is it possible in XI give source directory dynamically?
    If I move my XI development objects into quality or production, there would not be the same directories available. So we need to modify the source directory name again?
    Could anyone clarify these issues?
    Thanks,
    Venu.

    Hi Venu..
      It's possible to give source directory a dynamic name..
    Just type %directoryname% in the source path..
    and in the adapter paramaters (variable substution) access the value dynamically..
    Ex:
    variable
    directoryname

  • File Adapter - how to get the file count from a folder

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement that have to poll a directory when the file count is reached to number N (ex:number of files avilable in folder is 5) otherwise it should wait and not pick any of the files. Is it possible to get the file count from a folder using file adapter ?? otherwise please suggest me an approach to achieve this requirement.
    Thanks,
    JJ

    Hi Sarath,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Go with the list files operation of file adapter it will gives you the number of files in the specified folder as you given. . - this step is already done.
    When the number of files reaches your count startup your webservice that which can polls the files. . . - how can i acheive this?? Have to poll the directory and process the number files - please let me know, what could be added to the webservice which is being invoked after cheking file count from parent process.
    The reason for the above question is - we cannot use ReadFile operation in second webservice because it will be automatically triggered when the file is avilable. Also SyncRead operation supports reading one file in b/w bpel process. Kindly explain me the implementation steps.
    Thanks,
    JJ

  • PI 7.11 how to pick up only one file at a time in file adapter

    Hi
    Is there a smart way of only picking up one file at a time (for every poll) in a sender file adapter?
    E.g. There are 100 files in the source folder but I only want to pick up 1 of the files every time I poll the source folder in my sender file adapter.
    BR

    Thanks
    I did something like this:
    FOR /F %%I IN ('DIR

    echo %%I
    move
    srv145.????????????\reload\files\%%I

  • Problem with FIle Adapter

    Hi
    We r facing typical problem with file adapter.
    Lets say there are 30 files to be processed  by placing an copy in arichive folder by file adapter  based on pooling 
    parameters.
    All the 30  files are picked up and we can see the copies in archive folder.
    But when we go to RWB and check the audit log,
    there we could see only 25 files , the 5 files are missing.
    no trace found therre about the 5 files.
    This is happening only some times and not to all the files placed in the FTP. Later when the same file is placed back from the Archive folder to the Source folder, the file is being picked and processed succesfully.
    unfortunately this is happening on Production server
    Any pointers which could trouble shoot this issue.

    Hi,
    Couple of thing which you can try....
    1. Use EOIO QoS and check if you still face the issue.
    Is some program or application writing files to the directory? If yes I would recommend the use of a temporary name to write the files and then rename them.
    Sometimes when an external application connects via FTP and transfers the files...
    The file could be picked up by the adapter poll even before the transfer of data is done.
    Which is why you will find that the file is archived but there is no xml message created for the same in the Integration engine.
    Try increasing the poll interval. This helps sometimes.

  • Sender File Adapter picking the same file twice

    We are facing a weird issue with File Sender Adapter
    We are using PI File Adapter ( NFS ) to read files for a NFS folder and
    processing those in PI.Normally it works fine. But for a scenario we
    are noticing it sometimes process the same file twice before archiving,
    thus duplicating the financial postings.
    What we have is :
    File Sender Adapter - NFS, Polling interval 60 secs, and Processign
    mdoe Archive. File name includes Wildcards - JE_Upload*.txt
    what we are noticing is that :
    when it picks up a file, it immediately polls again to check for
    another file, and sometimes the file is not yet archived so it picks up
    and reprocess the same file.
    If you see the message below, both belong to the same file, and it
    picked up the same file again in 12 secs after processing it the first
    time
       Successful 02.11.2009 15:01:00 02.11.2009 15:01:01   APMANUAL     urn:bl:i2g:003:100

    Anyone seen this behavior before?

    Hi,
    Please check the script which creates file in source NFS Folders. There is possibility that script is making change in file when PI is picking up the file.
    When PI picks the file first time it creates one message ID in system. After that if script is making any change in file without file name change (This need not necessary data change), for PI it becomes new file and new message gets generated in PI for same file.
    This error normally comes when File adapter is not able to archive file succesfully. For eg. file with same name alredy exists in Archive folder.
    File adapter generates the new message id whenfile get modified(eg.change in its length or data change) even though
    the file name is same and when file get change ,XI file adapter thinks that its new file and hence generate the new message id for same file.
    If file has same name and notmodified then XI adapter will not generate new message id and will keep on throw the error till you remove that file with same name from the
    archieve directory.

  • File Adapter not processing Files which has COMMA in it

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on Project in SOA 11.1.1.6.
    I am trying to process a file which has comma in it. for eg - XXXXXXX-XX_XX_XXX11,99.pdf
    I am picking the file using file adapter from SOURCE directory and using another file adapter to WRITE to destination directory. Polling processing is working fine.
    I am picking the file from SOURCE directory as ATTACHMENT and WRITING to DESTINATION folder through File Adapter
    While doing file WRITE its failing. While reading the file the values of Content Type, Character Set and Encoding are NULL for the ATTACHMENT as they are optional properties.
    The error I am getting while File WRITE is
    <remoteFault>
    <part name="summary">
    <summary>java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to decode properties string att.encoding=null,att.charset=null,att.contentId=AReadFile/XXXXXXXX_XX_XXX11,99.pdf_1352184009640,att.contentType=null,att.partName=attach</summary>
    </part>
    <part name="detail">
    <detail>1</detail>
    </part>
    </remoteFault>

    Comma is usually treated as a separator/delimiter and hence it is not really common to have comma in filename. I think because of this reason File adapter does not support it (have to cross-verify). If you really have a requirement to read/write files with comma in filename then better log a SR with Oracle support.

  • PDF files in sender file adapter

    Hi,
    Can XI pick up pdf files (.pdf)  from a folder using File Adapter?
    If yes can u send me some blogs on this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It can be done by bypassing the payload from Integrationg engine.In this case this case XI will not process the PDF file but jus picks up the file from sender side and places it on the target side with no translations and message processing.No IR is required in this case.ID is enough.The file go thorough Adapter Engine it self.
    Jus follow the link provided it works.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/xi/filetofilewithoutusingwithIntegration+Repository
    But if u want to read the contents of the PDF also then there is no other way than writing the Javabased Moudle and configure it .
    Thanks,

  • File adapter polling a folder and accepting a single document at a time?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to make file adapter read a single file at a time though it is polling a directory that may contain more than one document?
    In other words is it possible to make file adapter reading documents sequentially?
    Do I need to put a queue to achieve this?
    Queue will read the incoming documents and puts the documents to another directory one by ome so that the file adapter picks up only one file at a time?

  • Dynamic File name in sender file adapter

    Hello,
    We have a requirement to pull files from our vendor's SFTP folder, the file will be pulled once a day however the file would remain in the folder for 45 days. The filename follows the pattern STL-20110425.01.002.TAB  where the date keeps changing every day.
    I could not see any option in the adapter to achieve this. Has anyone done it before? Please share your thoughts.
